"So let's have no reservations Let's have a clean sweep Clearing the way for the land of the free Let's hear it for civilisation once more Build your Aryan empire in peace"
Had the pleasure of hearing this on the radio , went out and bought it on vinyl. I t struck a chord that I still hear in my mind making me want to whistle.
If we consider the art and music of Robert Wyatt as social commentary, then each song represents a type of lament for a particular socio- political event close to his heart. East Timor in the late 70"s being invaded by Indonesia, the land of the American Indian suffering from occupation by a people lost in their own environmental and political and philosophical degradation, how we make and break Alliances so easily et al. Cool stuff though.
Terrific and beautiful Wyatt song, crystalline clarity of a serious great artist! Thanks Robert!

Love erratic way he expresses... kind of desabused detachment he provoks (in me, don't know sensations he induces on others)
